Sex Could Help Your Migraines!
I personally don’t suffer from migraines, but I know a few people who do, and it sounds like pure, unadulterated hell. I can barely handle the headache that comes after drinking one too many mojitos, let alone a torturous, miserable brain throbbing that is so bad it causes nausea and vomiting. NO THANK YOU. However, some new research is surfacing that seems to suggest that those who suffer from migraines (mainly women) could get relief from … yep, S-E-X.
According to researchers from the University of Munster in Germany (via CBS),
“Our data suggest…that sexual activity can lead to partial or complete relief of headache in some migraine and a few cluster headache patients,” wrote the authors of the study, published Feb. 19 in Cephalagia.
“Our results show that sexual activity during a migraine attack might relieve or even stop an attack in some cases, and that sexual activity in the presence of headache is not an unusual behavior,” they added.
HEYOOOOH! Did you hear that, migraine sufferers? Pull out your ear plugs and take off your eye-mask, because gettin’ down and dirty might actually be the cure to your pain! I would probably assume that asking your partner to do most of the work would be the best bet here – the last thing you want is too much thrusting or gyrating to cause you to puke all over their chest before the relief begins.
In fact, that might be the only time in the history of the human race that a lady could use the “convenient headache defense” to HAVE SEX instead of deny it. It’s a win-win situation!
